Chapter 126 Dahui 2 Middle School 4
Xia Bai didn't know what the prisoners in other classes were like, but what he was sure of was that a prisoner in his class who had scored 451 points in the exam that time scored 643 points this time.
It only took him ten days to improve his score by nearly 200 points.
If it was an improvement from 300 to 500, Xia Bai thought it was okay, but for such complex knowledge, 600 points was a hurdle, and it was difficult to improve by 10 points above 600.
Xia Bai didn't understand what was going on, but he knew the key point of the game had been revealed. The reason why so many people from this school were admitted to prestigious universities every year had been revealed.
"What's going on? Did the academic nerd possess them first?" Yang Mei asked after arriving at the cafeteria.
After ten days of hard study, he scored 633 points, only 2 points lower than the last time.
Several of them passed the passing line, except Hua Haoming, who barely passed and is still patting his chest. He just exceeded the passing line by 2 points.
Originally, more than 80% of the players should have failed this time. In fact, there were indeed many players who were to be eliminated, but the number was much less than originally expected, only 134. The rest of them strangely passed the passing line.
You know, Hua Haoming had already passed 600, and he had worked almost non-stop for the past ten days, and he just barely passed the passing line.
How did those hundreds of people pass the exam? Some even scored 680 or 690 points.
Since the class division, the so-called poor students in the school no longer eat together with them. Therefore, there is no trace of those few people who have made a great comeback in the cafeteria now, and you can't see them if you want to observe them.
Xia Bai then realized, "The school did not divide the classes because they caused trouble. It is indeed teaching students in accordance with their aptitude. It mainly uses special methods for those so-called poor students. They are separated from us in the dormitory and cafeteria to prevent us from influencing them."
"Yes, it's the same as those dozen senior high school students who were assigned to the library." Ling Changye said.
"I'll go check it out later." Wen Yuxin pressed his tired forehead, "If this is the case, our second exam will be very difficult. The passing line will definitely be raised again, and maybe the scope of the exam will also be expanded."
Ling Changye took out a few bottles of pills and placed them on the dining table. "These are specially prepared for this dungeon. They are game rewards collected by the Game Management Bureau from players. If you take them, you won't need to sleep and will stay energetic. However, there are side effects. You may need to sleep for a few days after you stop taking them."
Hua Haoming cursed and took a bottle.
Yang Mei reached out and took a bottle as if her face was paralyzed.
Wen Yuxin picked up a bottle with a sad face.
Xia Bai didn't take it. "I'll hold on a little longer, at least until the third exam."
The pervert Yang Yi didn't need it at all. He scored 729 this time, ranking first in his grade, far ahead of others.
They always grit their teeth when they see his relaxed look.
While they were eating, they suddenly saw a lot of people. They were security guards dragging people out, probably the more than 100 people who failed the exam.
Wen Yuxin immediately put down his chopsticks and walked to the window. "It's different from last time. This time there's no fear in their eyes, just dullness. Some of them have their eyes closed, and no one is struggling."
She talked to them as she watched. The security guards walked to the front of the office building. The office building blocked Wen Yuxin's view. She ran outside, climbed a tree skillfully, and continued to watch from a high place.
Xia Bai: “…”
It turns out that he doesn't need to teach me.
Ling Changye also followed her out. Xia Bai guessed that he wanted to copy Wen Yuxin's skills in this game.
If we just talk about the exam, Wen Yuxin's skills are more useful. He can copy Yang Yi's test paper next time.
“…”
"They were thrown outside the school." Wen Yuxin replied, "Are they sure to die if they are thrown outside the school? This is the first time I've seen this."
"You will die." Yang Yi said with certainty: "The game world we entered is Dahui No. 2 Middle School. No. 2 Middle School is the entire world of our game, which is a stable space. If you are thrown out of this space, you will be thrown into an unstable or even distorted space, which is difficult for the human body to withstand."
Wen Yuxin sighed.
Hua Haoming glanced at Xia Bai and Ling Changye and said, "Why are you sighing? They are already extremely heinous criminals on death row and will be executed soon. They volunteered for this opportunity."
"You're right." Wen Yuxin said, "I was just worried about myself. I seemed to see my future."
Yang Mei suggested, "Let's quickly find a way for them to improve their grades. I feel like they've improved so much in such a short time. Maybe they're possessed by a genius."
Ling Changye suggested, "We can look for this method, but if we find it, I don't recommend that you use it so quickly, just like I didn't give you these bottles of medicine before the first exam."
"Yes." Yang Yi also said.
Yang Mei was puzzled: "Why?"
Ling Changye asked him back, "If there really is a nerd ghost who can possess you, why did the last batch of students from No. 2 Middle School who entered the game fail?"
Yang Mei was stunned.
Ling Changye analyzed the special map they had visited last time. "Remember the Underworld 101 on Huaning TV? There was a plastic surgery item in that game. The first person to have plastic surgery had their entire ego devoured. Only those who endured it and had plastic surgery later could leave the game."
Yang Yi remembered the game. He said, “That game was a mockery of the human tendency to take shortcuts.”
Ling Changye said: "In this game, we are students. The fundamental thing for students is to study hard. We rely on ourselves first. If we can't hold on any longer, we can use the special methods in the game."
"No wonder Xia Bai insisted on waiting until the third exam before taking the medicine." Hua Haoming glanced at Xia Bai.
Xia Bai looked confused, as if he knew nothing.
After discussing for a while during lunch, they hurried back to study.
Along with the transcripts, there are also new and more study materials waiting for them to study.
During the afternoon self-study class, the head teacher came to the classroom and briefly talked about the results this time. He emphasized: "Based on this result and the admission scores of 100 prestigious schools this year, the school has set the passing score for the next exam. It has not increased much, only 630 points, but the scope of examination will be doubled compared to last time."
“…”
I don’t know about other classes, but the students in Class 1 were a little suffocated.
What does doubling the scope mean? The scope of the last exam already exceeded the knowledge of ordinary high schools. If it is doubling again, it is equivalent to them having to learn the knowledge of an entire high school in ten days.
"Don't worry, everyone. The content of this exam is all in the review materials. The teachers have sorted them out for you. You don't need to do anything else, just read them directly." The head teacher said, "Then I won't bother the students, let's start studying."
Xia Bai pulled out a book from the pile of study materials and started reading it with a look of despair.
With this amount of study, even Xia Bai didn't have much time to eat, let alone Hua Haoming and the others. The task of finding clues in this book mainly fell on Ling Changye and Yang Yi.
Yang Yi was a genius, so Ling Changye could copy him. But he couldn't fall behind too much, or else, if the class was divided again, he would be miserable if he couldn't copy Yang Yi.
The way back to the dormitory at night is the main time of the day when they exchange clues.
Ling Changye said to them as they walked: "When they were having lunch at noon, I observed them for a while. Many of them really looked like senior high school students, and their symptoms were more obvious than those of senior high school students."
Hua Haoming asked: "What are the symptoms?"
"They walked uncoordinated, one even fell down, they didn't talk to anyone, and they didn't respond to external sounds." He also mentioned a new discovery, "They seemed to eat more than before, especially high-calorie foods."
"How do you explain eating more than before?" Hua Haoming was almost dizzy with this game.
Yang Mei: "Is it because ghosts can't eat and have been craving for too long, so they eat as much as they can after entering a human body?"
Hua Haoming: "That makes sense."
“…”
Xia Bai felt ashamed. She actually took his guess as the truth.
Yang Yi said: "I asked them directly, but none of them could explain why their grades improved so much. I suspect they signed some kind of agreement with the school that prevents them from telling us. I will use my skills to ask more people next time."
Xia Bai asked, "Did they behave abnormally when you talked to them?"
"It's abnormal, but it's not." Yang Yi said, "It's obvious. When I asked questions, no one paid any attention to me."
“…”
Ling Changye: "If you can ask, then ask. If you can't, forget it. Our focus is still on the exam."
When the topic of exams came up, several people's faces changed.
Yang Mei covered the bump on her head from bumping into a tree while walking, and said in pain, "Captain, I really may not be able to do it. Let's look for clues and find that method. Maybe we can use it appropriately and not rely on it completely."
Yang Yi looked at him, opened his mouth, said nothing, then closed his mouth and turned to look into the deep night on the other side.
Ling Changye said, "Just this once, persist in taking the exam one more time. The second exam is really difficult, and maybe the previous batch of students found shortcuts this time and were wiped out. You guys study hard, and when you have no way out of the third exam, look for clues and use the school's methods."
When he said that, Yang Mei seemed to have caught a glimmer of hope. He nodded and said, "I won't sleep tonight. I'll read another book."
Since even he said so, Hua Haoming and Wen Yuxin didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry. Anxiety is not conducive to learning." Yang Yi said, "Let me summarize the key points of the exam. Every exam has its key points."
Hua Haoming glanced at him and finally said nothing.
Originally, they hated Yang Yi very much, but in this instance, they really had to rely on Yang Yi. Of course, Yang Yi's arrangement of the key points might be mainly for Yang Mei.
As they were talking, they suddenly heard a sharp scream.
The screams came from behind them, near the teaching building.
Several people immediately walked quickly towards that direction and saw a pool of blood in the distance.
Someone committed suicide by jumping off the fourth floor of the library.
Jumping from the fourth floor might not have been so tragic, but he deliberately fell headfirst onto the steps outside the library and died on the spot, his body twisted from the neck and blood oozing from his head.
Xia Bai knew where this person sat. He had been watching the surveillance footage on Ling Changye's phone quite often in the past two days and knew the exact seats of these dozen or so students.
Xia Bai looked up and saw a dozen other people looking over here through the window, so he immediately summoned Sister Xue Mu out.
In the game of Red Rose Castle, they cooperated very well, mainly because Sister Xue Mu was good at searching for evidence, and it was the same this time.
The security guards and teachers were driving the students away in front, and the other students were looking down. When everyone's focus was on the student who committed suicide, Sister Xue Mu's hair had grown to the fourth floor of the library and began to transport something that Xia Bai had told her might be a clue to the back of the library.
In fact, Xia Bai didn't need to tell her the location. Before entering this game, she and Erwa had played many games. The Game Management Bureau was determined to train Erwa well. As long as the copy was suitable, Erwa would not be allowed to rest. They played five games a week on average.
In these games, she had to consider a lot for Erwa and already knew how to play the games.
After dealing with the suicide case in front, the black-haired man took advantage of the night and wrapped himself in things and moved to the flower bed in front.
When they went back, Xia Bai put those things directly between his study materials.
Sister Xuemu didn't find many things, not even a diary. Xia Bai had expected this, after all, senior high school students all used electronic devices to study, and there weren't many paper study materials.
A birthday card, a college acceptance letter cover, a transcript, and a letter.
Xia Bai distributed these things to several people.
Hua Haomingzi took the birthday card and said, "It's just a normal blessing. It says this person's birthday, September 13th."
Xia Bai explained to him: "There aren't many paper things on the fourth floor of the library. Their desks are very clean. This card was brought there. It must be something very precious or have special meaning."
Hua Haoming checked it again carefully. "Here, there is a word [正] here, but what does it mean?"
Ling Changye said: "The word [正] is often used to count. He might be counting some day."
"In that case, many people would draw the word [正] during the very difficult days. The period of repeating a grade is very difficult for them, so it is normal to use the time to draw the word [正]," said Hua Haoming.
Xia Bai: "If that's the case, he only painted for five days?"
They couldn't figure out this clue.
Xia Bai handed them the cover of his college admission letter and said, "I don't know if it's real or a copy. There's only the cover with a sentence written on it."
【It took me a long, long time to get here. 】
Wen Yuxin looked distressed. "Why are the clues in this game so vague? This sentence is also applicable to ordinary college students and high school seniors."
"This transcript is amazing!" Yang Mei said, "732 points. They are really top students!"
There was a name on the report card. They had just heard the teacher call out this name. It was the person who had just died.
This proves that those people did indeed perform poorly in the college entrance examination, but actually have very impressive grades.
Now back to the question, looking at their reactions, they really don’t seem like people with such good grades.
Yang Mei: "I still think my brother's guess is true. The ghost of a top student has entered their bodies."
Hua Haoming: "You are expecting the ghost of a top student to possess you, so that's why you think so, right?"
Yang Mei nodded simply.
Ling Changye handed over the letter in his hand. He had already finished reading it. "There is no trace of a ghost in this letter."
Xia Bai took the letter and started reading it.
[Mom, did you receive the letters I wrote to you? Is it because the school didn't send my letters out that you didn't reply to me or come to see me?
Mom, please, can you please pick me up and leave? I really, really can’t hold on any longer.
Do you know, do you know, someone committed suicide in our school again today.
You know, you know, you must know. During the time of the high school entrance examination, you discussed why the suicide rate of Dahui No. 2 Middle School was so high. Later, you all laughed and said that it was because good schools have great pressure. You sent me here because of the admission rate of Dahui No. 2 Middle School.
You said that three years of pain in exchange for a lifetime of success was worth it.
You told me, think about the future, no matter how painful these three years are, as long as you are alive, that's enough.
Did you sign some kind of agreement with the school? The teacher said that parents would not interfere with their teaching, just for the sake of your lifelong success?
I hate you!
I hate you guys!!!
No, no, no, Mom, I don’t hate you, I love you, I love you so much.
Could you please take me away?
Mom, I had a dream. I dreamed that I wanted to run, I wanted to run as fast as I could, but my body didn’t move. I was so anxious that I cried.
Mom, I can't run anymore, please take me home. 】
After reading this unsent letter, Xia Bai thought of the fourth floor of the library with a dirty toilet and lots of chocolates. He was silent for a few seconds, "He seems to have mental problems too."
"In this perverted school, it's a problem if one's mental state is normal." Hua Haoming complained and said, "This letter says that they have long known that the suicide rate at Dahui No. 2 Middle School is very high. Maybe we can investigate from the outside to the inside."
Wen Yuxin didn't understand: "How can we check from the outside in? Aren't we not allowed to go out?"
Xia Bai said: "But we have a library, and there are magazines and newspapers in the library, maybe there are some relevant reports."
"You guys go back and study, I'll do this tomorrow," said Yang Yi.
Time was tight, so they didn't say much and hurried back to the dormitory to study.
When going upstairs, Xia Bai saw a prisoner he knew walking towards the dormitory.
His walking posture was very strange, just as Ling Changye said, very stiff, as if he was about to fall at any time, and at the same time he covered his head with his hands.
When he took his hand away, Xia Bai saw his eyes.
Extremely tired, so tired that he looks a little haggard.
He also saw Xia Bai, and suddenly pointed at Xia Bai and burst into laughter, laughing so hard that his waist bent.
Anyone who was pointed at and laughed at like this would feel very confused. Xia Bai looked down at himself to see if there was anything strange.
When the others heard his laughter, they stopped and looked at the man.
"Hahahahahahaha!" The man pointed at Xia Bai and laughed, "Fool, idiot, big idiot, hahaha!"
Xia Bai looked confused. He was often called a fool, but this was the first time he was called a stupid.
Xia Bai asked him seriously: "Where am I stupid?"
“…”
"Silly fool, haha...ah, you are so small, so small, why are you so small?" The man laughed and started muttering strangely.
Yang Yi said, "He seems to have mental problems?"
Xia Bai thought about it and walked to him. When he was about to talk to him, he suddenly fainted.
“…”
It looks too much like a fraud.
Xia Bai didn't dare to move and called the dormitory manager.
They were on the first floor, and the dormitory manager's room was only three steps away. He came out as soon as Xia Bai called him.
"He may have a fever." The dormitory manager said, "It's okay, you guys go back, I'll take him to the school hospital."
"I'll take him there." Xia Bai squatted down to help him, but was pushed away by the dormitory manager. "Go back quickly! The dormitory door will be locked soon."
Xia Bai had no choice but to watch as the dormitory manager half carried and half dragged the man away.
Hua Haoming said: "Normally, he had just come to this school not long ago, so he wouldn't have developed mental problems due to the academic pressure here. It seems that the mental problems of the boy who committed suicide were not necessarily due to academic pressure, but to a method to quickly improve his academic performance."
"I still think that a ghost academic has possessed him. Two souls occupying one body can easily lead to mental problems," said Yang Mei.
“…”
That night, they did not look for other clues and focused on studying.
The next day, Yang Yi spent three mealtimes in the library. When he returned to the dormitory at night, he told them, "The school library mostly has study materials and classic books. There are very few extracurricular magazines and newspapers. The few newspapers are mostly about the school's good news, reporting on the good results the school has achieved."
"Forget it." Hua Haoming said, "Don't look for clues anymore. Just prepare for the exam. I think the clues here are not something we can find. They all popped up on their own."
"That's right." Yang Yi handed them the study materials he had compiled, "Go study."
The materials he organized saved their lives. The study materials provided by the school were too complicated and the order was very chaotic. They would forget what they learned after memorizing it. Yang Yi organized the knowledge points systematically and clearly for them, which made them more motivated to study.
Yang Mei lowered her head and held the study materials, rubbing her fingers on them for a while, without saying anything.
The props and medicines Ling Changye gave were indeed effective, and none of the three of them needed to sleep.
Xia Bai would sleep a little every day, only about three hours, which caused a dark spot to appear under his eyes. It was very obvious on his pale face, making him look even duller and obviously tired.
Xia Bai thought that the three people who took the medicine would feel better. In fact, they did not need to sleep, but they also looked very tired.
Yang Yi said: "Your brains have not been developed to this extent before. After taking the medicine, you will not feel sleepy and will be full of energy, but your brain will be tired if it keeps working."
Several of them had obvious dark circles under their eyes and walked into the examination room like giant pandas.
After the exam, they all collapsed in their seats.
With the study materials organized by Yang Yi and the stimulants given by Ling Changye, they worked day and night and tried their best to get a score that was indeed above the passing line, but the bottom three were ranked at the end of the students who had passed the passing line and were on the verge of death.
And those who were originally poor students often earned six hundred and seventy or eighty percent.
The head teacher said: "Based on the results of this exam and the admissions of the top 50 prestigious schools this year, we will set the passing score for the next exam at 650. Similarly, we will expand the scope of the exam."
Hua Haoming was about to die. "I really can't make it anymore. I can't make it anymore."
Yang Mei's eyebrows were dark and her eyes were red. "Captain, can we find a way to find the school this time?"
"In fact, normally speaking, the last batch of Dahui No. 2 Middle School students who entered the game should have been able to rely on their own people for the second exam without any help from the school. It was only the third time that they really had no other way to find a school, and ended up being wiped out."
Ling Changye said: "So, we have to rely on ourselves this time. It should be OK after we get through it once."
“…”
